Would Halloween (the holiday not the movie) be a manifestation of the stranger?

Happy Halloween everyone!

It would be nice to do something extra ~spooky~ for today, but that's kind of the theme of this blog anyway. All the polls today will be for characters from horror. Try not to let any Fears eat you on this most frightening of days.

DO PEOPLE IN IRELAND CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN

Today, Halloween is celebrated in Ireland in much the same way as it is in other parts of the world. People dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, and light bonfires. However, there are still some traditional Irish Halloween customs that are still ob

ACTUALLY IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THE FESTIVAL ORIGINATED IN IRELAND This series of images was captured in 2017 and the photographs have been very much processed and modified because the original RAW files were close to unusable. I receive many requests for information and, excluding questions relating to Leprechauns , the most common question that I receive is “do people in Ireland have…

So since Fermín is rumoured/has already changed the leathers brand and it's rumored to be due to poor fitting, I decided to look into the racing gear of the tall riders.

First of all we need a list of all the riders (permanent, test, wildcards and replacement to get as much data as I can) that have been on a weekend this year.

With the exception of Pedrosa's and Zurutuza's height all comes from MotoGP website (beef with them because some are wrong, but we roll with it). Dani comes from a random article on the net, and Xabi comes from KTM's website (for some reason they don't have their height listed).

The racing gear list has been done with the aid of this Twit and then looking at the rider's photos in MotoGP site (again beef with them if I put a rider with the wrong gear due to the photo). The ones with the question mark is me not being able to really figure out or being unsure of the branding after searching the riders social media pages. Some do tag it, others don't.

So now we have our riders, so we need to define which are tall, and who isn't. In this case, we will define them when a rider is taller than the mean.

To make things easier, riders are being considered tall when they are 173cm or taller (my first guess was 175cm, so I wasn't that far off). So now this is our new ser of data

And this are new means (just to keep in mind)

Now, let's look at all the data. How many riders in each category are considered tall? And what are the brands they use?

Apparently across all classes, Alpinestars is the most popular one (12 out of the 58 "tall riders") with 20.7%. In 'Others, I include the ones I wasn't sure, the ones with just 1 or 2 riders to make the data easier to look at).

So far, we can see that no MotoGP rider uses Macna, which are the leathers Fermín is/has been using, but they are Dainese riders in Moto2. Something that is interesting is that only REV'IT and Alpinestar supply riders in all categories.

Now the question would be, is Fermín too tall for Macna? Would he fit better with Dainese. To see that, we can see the high distribution across all manufacturers.

According to MotoGP, Fermín is 181cm tall (which I actually disagree, I think he's even over 184 but that's another matter). If we look at Daniese, they supply for both Luca and Joan (and Vale), which might be the reason why I associate tall people with Dainese. However, Bo Bedsneyder, who according to MotoGP is 184cm, does use Macna and doesn't seem to have an issue.

Now, we can look at the means of each category and brand.

It seems like Alpinestar seems to be have the lowest mean, which can mean they do supply the riders in the lower portion of out select group of riders, Interestingly, Macna and Furygan seem to supply the riders in the tall part of it.

And those are the numbers

Macna, REV'IT and Furygan do have the higher means, but they also only supply 6 (soon to be 5), 8 and 6 riders. Alpinestars does in fact have the lowest mean, with Ixon, and if you compare with the mean of each category, they never reach it.

When looked at all the data combined, we can actually see that Magna and Furygan seems to place in the top and top-middle of the list. Alpinestar and REV'IT is all over the place, while Ixon seems to be a choice for the shorter riders of this portion.

(Sorry for the quality and the colour choices)

We can't draw too many conclusions due to the small sample size. But I think it's interesting to look at. I do know there are some test I can perform with the data and see if really Macna and Dainese are chosen by taller riders more than 'short' ones, but I can't actually remember them at the moment. So if anyone wants to look more into it DM me and I'll send the data

[certifiedbi]

Is there any specific reason why he would change to dianese (I mean related to his new signing, or is it just money for him lol)

Oh my god someone asked me about (racing) gear this is like my favourite subject omg thank you thank you

But basically yes to both and also a secret third option

There is a lot of leathers/helmet manufacturers that are in the lower categories that don't typically make their way up to MotoGP. This is in part because MotoGP crashes will be faster and more dangerous (obviously) so it's better to stick to very well trusted brands like dainese or alpinestars in MotoGP. A good example of this was Pedro having to (painfully) part ways with MT-Helmets when he moved to MotoGP. Obviously this stuff is still safe, but yk it's better to be safe than sorry yada yada all that

In terms of money, this will absolutely be a factor. Typically, the contracts that moto2/3 riders have with a leathers manufacturer will be much different than MotoGP riders. Moto2/3 will be a set number of suits (sometimes including a set for training, if they're feeling generous) and repairs, probably replacements as well if a suit is mega fucked. MotoGP contracts are different, it's more suits, possible merchandising, and most importantly actual money. And this can be BIG money. I mean Fabio quartararo allegedly gets €750,000 per season from HJC alone.

The reason this has come mid season is a little more personal to aldeguer. He has not seemed too happy in his leathers for a while, if you remember post Silverstone last year he had a lotttt of issues with his leathers fitting incorrectly and causing him issues with his arms, and in this season he's actually started borrowing Aleix's boots (his previous boots weren't supplied by macna, but I think they were called txc boots). But he fitted for a dainese suit over the weekend and macna has decided to end the contract (although don't be surprised if they file a lawsuit - aldeguer was contracted to them until 2028) so now he is training in the dainese suit.

So like, it's a lot of things. Although dainese is a bit left field but they are probably trying to get more dainese riders on Ducatis because there is only the vr46 boys left atm

Hello! I really like your AU - looks interesting and very intriguing! Wish you good luck on that! I love your details, but a little question! By categorizing some vocaloids as adults, do you see them as mid 20s - early 30s? Just to make sure that others people won`t see them as middle aged.

Have a nice day!

Ahhhh!!! Thank you for the compliments! I made that age group sorter kind of late last night, so looking at it now, I see that I didn't really word it how I wanted to! Basically, most of those characters are side characters, so I didn't want to complicate the chart too much. Some of them are middle-aged, for the sake of the story. I know that some of their ages don't reflect canon (such as Luka and Kiyoteru), but it's just because when I created the AU, I didn't know their canon ages and at this point, I don't really care enough to change things around LOL (especially since these characters aren't super important).

Mid to late 20's: Cyber Diva, Cyber Songman, Yuzheng Longya

30's: Gakupo, Luka, Miki, Mew, Arsloid, Haruno Sora

40's: Miriam, Meiko, Kaito, Kiyoteru, Bruno, Clara, Chika

50's: Leon, Lola, Sweet Ann, Prima, Big Al, Tonio

60's: Sachiko, Macna Papa

Irish revellers flooded the streets of Dublin expecting a Halloween parade last night. The only problem? No parade had been organised.

The parade was announced by My Spirit Halloween and attracted thousands of Dublin locals to gather along a route from Parnell Square to Temple Bar for an event supposedly organised by Galway arts ensemble Macnas. It was only after the Halloween fans arrived that it became clear that the website had made the entire parade up.

My Spirit Halloween is a Pakistan-hosted website that creates AI-generated news. When the website churned out the fictional parade, it made its way through Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) onto multiple news and social media sites, spreading the fake news.
